This type of LAA may have secondary lobes or twigs. CT (A) and MRI (B). Abbreviations as in Figure 1. Figure Legend:

Variations of this LAA type arise with the location and number of secondary or even tertiary lobes arising from the dominant lobe. CT (A) and MRI (B). Abbreviations as in Figure 1. Figure Legend:

Variations of this LAA type have a more irregular shape of the LAA ostium (oval vs. round) and a variable number of lobes with lack of a dominant lobe. CT (A) and MRI (B).

(B) Vertical bars represent the prior stroke/TIA event rate in Chicken Wing and Non–Chicken Wing morphologies. Non–Chicken Wing was found to be an independent predictor of stroke with an OR of 2.95 (95% CI: 1.75 to 4.99, p = 0.041). OR = odds ratio. Figure Legend:
